【摘要】 目的 探討LIM礦化蛋白(LIM mineralization protein,LMP)-1和LMP-3雙基因共轉染骨髓間充質干細胞(bone mesenchymal stem cells,BMSC)的表達情況。 方法 采用人工設計合成人LMP-1和LMP-3基因片段,分別與質粒pEGFP-N2連接,經酶切、測序鑒定后。分離培養新西蘭兔BMSC,用脂質體包裹轉染BMSC,按轉染情況分為5組:未轉染組(A組)、轉染空載體組(B組)、轉染LMP-1基因組(C組)、轉染LMP-3基因組(D組)、LMP-1與LMP-3雙基因共轉染組(E組)。采用實時聚合酶鏈反應(real-time polymerase chain reaction,RT-PCR)和蛋白質印跡法檢測LMP-1和LMP-3的表達。 結果 酶切及測序表明真核表達質粒pEGFP-N2-LMP-1和pEGFP-N2-LMP-3構建成功。E組可同時較高水平表達LMP-1和LMP-3分子。對RT-PCR及蛋白質印跡法檢測結果行灰度值測量并行統計學分析顯示:LMP-1 mRNA及蛋白水平的表達,5組間差異有統計學意義(P lt;0.05),但E組與C組的差異無統計學意義(P gt;0.05);LMP-3 mRNA及蛋白水平的表達,5組間差異有統計學意義(P lt;0.05),且E組與D組差異也有統計學意義(P lt;0.05)。 結論 雙基因共轉染的BMSC能在體外同時表達LMP-1與LMP-3,為基因修復骨缺損帶來新思路。
【Abstract】 Objective To study the expression of LIM mineralization protein (LMP)-1 and LMP-3 genes after cotransfecting them into bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) of rabbit in vitro. Methods Fragments of LMP-1 gene and LMP-3 gene were gained through artificial synthesis, and were constructed respectively into the plasmid vector pEGFP-N2. The inserted target genes in plasmid were verified by nucleotide sequencing and enzymes. The plasmids carrying LMP-1 and LMP-3 genes were cotransfected into chondrocytes by liposome method. According to the transfected situation, the BMSC were divided into 5 groups: the non-transfected group (Group A), the group transfected by empty vector (Group B), the group transfected by LMP-1 (Group C), the group transfected by LMP-3 (Group D) and the group transfected by both LMP-1 and LMP-3 (Group E). The expressions of LMP-1 and LMP-3 were detected by RT-PCR and western bloting technique. Results The plasmid pEGFP-N2-LMP-1 and pEGFP-N2-LMP-1 were obtained successfully by cloning technique and verified by nucleotide sequencing and enzymes. The LMP-1 and LMP-3 molecules were both expressed at a high level in Group E. The results of RT-PCR and western bloting were measured with the grey value. For the expression of LMP-1 mRNA and protein of LMP-1, the differences between groups A, B and groups C, D, E were significant (P<0.05), while the difference between groups C and E was not significant (P>0.05); For the expression of LMP-3 mRNA and protein of LMP-3, the differences between groups A, B and groups C, D, E were significant (P<0.05), and the difference between groups D and E was also significant(P<0.05). Conclusion LMP-1 and LMP-3 genes can be expressed effectively after being cotransfected into BMSC, which provides a basis for gene therapy for treating bone defects.
